Overview
A nivel nacional e internacional, persiste la noción de que las instituciones policiacas de México son corruptas. Nada menos, en el léxico del trasiego de drogas la Policía Federal era sinónimo de operadores y peones de narcotraficantes. Las acciones de muchos agentes la desacreditaron, al grado de que muy pocos mexicanos confiaban en esta institución creada presuntamente para garantizar la seguridad nacional. Sin embargo, en su historial también existen misiones exitosas que concluyeron con la detención de importantes capos o la resolución de casos que llevaban tiempo sin ser atendidos.
Basado en una sólida investigación documental, apoyada en expedientes, fotografías y múltiples entrevistas, J. Jesús Esquivel devela desde dentro 10 operaciones clave de la pf en la persecución criminal en México, como la captura del Chapo Guzmán en Los Mochis, el caso del asesinato de Marisela Escobedo, o el del hijo de Javier Sicilia, entre otras.
Las operaciones secretas de la Policía Federal no es una apología de la institución ni de quienes la integraron, es un vistazo periodístico de casos en los que por la relevancia criminal o mediática de sus implicados no podía permitirse otro paso en falso en su ejecución.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
What was the role of the Federal Police before it became the National Guard? How did the Federal Police participate in some of the most relevant operations fighting crime in the past few years?
Both nationwide and abroad, there is a notion that Mexican police forces are corrupt. Even more, in the lexicon of drug smuggling, the Federal Police was synonymous of facilitators and pawns of the cartels. Many agents’ actions discredited it, up to a point where very few Mexicans trusted this force, allegedly created to ensure national security. However, in their history there are also some very successful missions that concluded in the apprehension of important drug dealers and the solving of cold cases.
Based on solid documentary research, backed by files, photographs, and multiple interviews, J. Jesús Esquivel gives an insider’s account of 10 criminal prosecution operations done by the Mexican Federal Police, like the capture of Chapo Guzmán in Los Mochis, Marisela Escobedo’s murder case, or the murder of Javier Sicilia’s son, to name a few.
The Secret Operations of the Federal Police is not a glorification of the force, nor of its members. It is a journalistic glance at those cases in which—whether because of the criminal significance of the operation or the mediatic relevance of those involved—the Federal Police couldn’t afford another misstep in its performance.
